Here's a new addition to my story. Hope everyone likes it
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, it was an early start. Cyborg made waffles, while Robin came out, feeling better from before. Raven floated down to the kitchen. "Smells good Cyborg." Robin said. "Thank you," Cyborg replied.
"Breakfast is good. . ." Raven stated. "Thanks," Cyborg thanked again. Cyborg ate himself, trying his own creation. It never tasted so good before.
Raven quickly finished her breakfast and returned to her room, to continue meditating. Cyborg and Robin were laughing at each other's jokes. They had to admit, even Beast Boy was better than them.
"Ah look at us. . ." Robin said, "We can't even go a day without thinking about Beast Boy." "I guess we've gotten so used to him being around, we forgot what it really meant to have him around." Cyborg declared. "Yeah," Robin concurred.
It wasn't long before the crime alert went off. Robin steadily worked to find who it was. Cyborg joined him along with Raven. "Starfire still isn't healthy enough to do battle with us." Raven said. "That's ok," Robin announced, "It's only Red X robbing the jewelry store as usual."
"Titans go!" Robin ordered.
The three titans made it to the jewelry store, which wasn't far away from the mall, and found Red X having his way with all of it's contents. Red X noticed the three titans were here, so he made a run for it.
"Come back here Red X!" Robin yelled, throwing an explosive boomerang at him. "Sorry kid, I have more important things to do." Red X called back, jumping away from the explosion. He launched a giant X at the titans, which all of them dodged.
Red X continued back to Slade's lair just as planned. "But why not me Slade?" Beast Boy asked. "You were apart of their team for quite some time. I can't risk them trying to get you back." Slade explained.
Red X was just about there, and only two more blocks to go, when the titans neared him. Cyborg launched a sonic cannon attack directly towards him. Red X rolled out of the way to have to avoid an oncoming car.
He jumped again from the black aura of the car and defended against Robin's attacks. Red X was forced to stay and fight now. "What is your plan Red X?" Robin asked. "Just what it always is kiddo," Red X said, "steal and love stealing."
Robin punched at him, which he blocked. He tripped him up and threw Robin on the ground. No sooner, did Cyborg hop in and join the action. Red X did a back flip and threw another large X at Cyborg. Cyborg was hit by the attack and stuck to the car.
Raven saw this and launched Red X into the air. Red X took advantage of this, as they were leading him right where he wanted to go. When Red X recovered from his fall, he went inside the building that was now next to him. Robin and Raven followed, while Cyborg was still getting over the X that ensnared him.
Robin and Raven looked wide-eyed at their new opponents. It seemed that Red X had tricked them into thinking he was working alone. In reality, he was just fooling them.
Slade and Beast Boy stood behind them. Cyborg ran inside to join Raven and Robin in whatever was going on. He, too, was stunned. "What's going on here?" He asked.
"Hello Raven, how does it feel?" Slade asked. "How does-" Raven began, but getting a clue. Raven got angry, real angry. She threw everything that was available to her with her powers. Robin and Cyborg saw this to be a good time to go in themselves.
Red X was doing battle with Robin. Cyborg was busy taking on Slade. Slade was backing up, as if he wasn't even trying. Raven noticed that there was an X where Slade was headed to. "Cyborg!" Raven yelled.
There was no time to warn him. When she called his name Beast Boy came running up as a rhino and launched her into the wall. Knocking her around every which way. Beast Boy resumed human form and punched and kicked her.
Cyborg followed Slade, launching another sonic cannon at him this time. Slade jumped right on the X. He then backed away as Cyborg ran on top of it. A cage dropped on top of him, and he was electrocuted on the spot.
Robin karate chopped him, which he blocked Robin's left arm. Red X ducked and punched with his right arm, which Robin blocked with his. Red X stomped on him, sending Robin flying back. While Robin was falling backwards, he threw his boomerang at Red X. Red X was caught off guard.
The boomerang exploded and sent him flying into Robin's trap. The controller that controlled the dome, with it's fire ability, wasn't water proof. Adding to that, this wasn't distilled water. As an effect, everything in that water was electrocuted, as badly, if not worse, than Cyborg was inside the cage.
Robin was amazed at the new dome that was on fire. Slade yelled, "NO!" There was a high chance that Red X in there was now dead. Robin ran towards Slade. "What are you planning Slade!" Robin asked cunningly.
Robin was throwing Slade off guard. He threw four ultra-sonic emitters (is that how it's spelled? Ok where I'm trying to get at is these small discs and you can send them flying to the ground around someone, and hurts the eardrums of everyone around them). Robin continued, with ear muffs (that would be funny to see Robin in one of these). Actually, the only pair he had, which he was wearing, was bunny ear muffs that Starfire gave to him last Easter.
Slade couldn't concentrate at all. Robin kicked him back and continued after Slade. Slade was a little better now that his ears weren't constantly being damaged.
Raven defended herself, of course with her powers, from Beast Boy's punches and kicks. He broke through her barrier and snapped the belt around her waist. It went from green to red in a matter of two seconds. Raven was shocked, and almost didn't know what it was. She realized what it did when she tried using her powers, and failed.
"Like it? I made it myself," Beast Boy said. "Why'd you do this!" Raven screamed at him. "You nearly killed Starfire!" "How bad did I hurt her?" Beast Boy asked, a little distracted. "She lost so much blood, and without my powers both Robin and her would've died!"
"I'm sorry." Beast Boy said. "Sorry isn't going to cut it! Starfire is scarred for life now thanks to you!" Raven said. "How?" Beast Boy asked. "She never wants to talk to you anymore! I read her mind. She's scared of you!" Raven yelled, kicking Beast Boy's leg.
"Wow," Beast Boy said, hopping. It was as if he didn't care she hurt his leg. He continued looking at her. "Don't both returning." Raven said, "We don't want you anymore." Raven said, "I'm sick of it. I'm sick of you!"
Slade and Robin were still at it. Slade was on the defense. He held onto Robin's fist, punching Robin as hard as he can. Robin took the hit, taking out his cane. Slade began kicking him. Robin retracted from Slade and tripped him up.
Slade pushed himself off the ground, spinning around. He began running towards Robin. Robin shielded himself from Slade's first punch. So fast, was Slade's second. Robin revolved from that punch as Slade kicked him back into a beam.
Slade took the pole Robin dropped and pulled out his own. Robin took out his two red knifes and stopped the poles from hitting his body. Slade said, "You're getting better. I think you are actually as good as me now, Robin." Slade said. "For once I agree!" Robin said, pushing Slade off him.
"I'm sick of my attitude too," Beast Boy said. "Don't expect remorse." Raven replied. "Fine." Beast Boy said, returning his kick to Raven. She fell back against the wall, unconscious. Beast Boy held her in his arms, after picking her up. He turned to Slade, who was getting his butt kicked by Robin at this point.
"Slade!" Beast Boy yelled, "It was all a trick!" Both Robin and Slade looked to Beast Boy. Slade didn't know what to say, while Robin said, "Beast Boy?" Slade pushed Robin off of him and summoned his robots.
"I knew the entire time it was, Beast Boy. It was to get you away from everyone." Slade said. It seemed that Beast Boy, and only Beast Boy, could hear Slade say that. Slade magically disappeared.
(Beast Boy's POV)
I can't believe I did that. I told myself I was going to get revenge. I told myself I was going to kill her. When I got the chance, I just froze. I didn't mean all of it, did I? It wasn't to late to go back to the way it was before, even before I loved her, was it?
Nothing was like it was before. Not only her, but no one cared when they saw me. It was like, I was a traitor. I found, actually it wasn't much different from before, even before the titans.
Doom Patrol wasn't different. They didn't like me, any of them. They all treated me as an infidel. It's a miracle I even know what that means. Why do things have to be so hard? If I didn't love her, they wouldn't hate me. This, I could call home, then. No, it couldn't be like that, could it? I had to love her.
As I walked down the hall for something, anything, whether it be playing video games, watching TV, or getting food, I brushed up against Raven. "Sorry," I heard her say. "No need," I replied, "I deserve this punishment. It's. . .what I did."
I continued walking, all the way down to the living room. No one was there. I remembered about Star. I had to see her. I wanted to know if she was ok.
I ran back through the same hallway. Everything was a blur as I was fearing the worst. I ran passed Raven, who was walking steadily up to her room. I ran into the infirmary, which no one except for Starfire was there.
I sat down in a seat next to her bedside. I prayed. For her to get out of that bed and up and around, I prayed. For her to be better, and not scared of me, I prayed. For everything to be just like they were before, I prayed.
I didn't hear anything as I prayed. I was so deep in thought, that when Raven said, "Boo" I jerked out of my seat. I made a thumping noise as I splattered on the ground. Retaining my position, I boasted, "What was that for!"
"Oh calm down," Raven giggled. That was a new. "Ok. . ?" I asked. She held out my hand for me. I took it. "You're the only one. . ." I said as my eyes swelled up. "No, don't cry. Not here. Not now." She told me, trying to calm me. "Why?" I asked.
"Wasn't it a trick? I read your mind Beast Boy, you wasn't really working for Slade. Though. . .that was a bad way to deal with it." Raven countered. "Yeah. . .I realize that. I don't expect Starfire to ever talk to me again." I mourned.
"You prayed, didn't you?" Raven asked. "Why would that matter?" I asked repulsed by her question. She didn't answer. She either didn't know what to answer, or knew it was impossible to comeback.
I walked down to my room, being stopped by Robin. He walked up in the same cool manner, but you could tell he was stressed. "Hey Beast Boy." "What do you want?" I asked coldly. "Just saying hey." Robin blurted.
He glared at me. He wanted to hurt me, to get back at me for what I did to Starfire. I just knew it. "Sorry dude, I've got to finish hurting myself first." Robin retracted his attention from hurting me and asked, "Beast Boy?"
"I need some rest." I said. I stared up to the ceiling looking for answers, and getting none. Why am I back? Do they even want me here? What is Raven up to? She told me she didn't want me here. Did she mean that?
All these questions hurt my head. I just need to relax. . .
I woke up still in my bed. It was four. "Great. . ." I groaned. I got up. This isn't like me, to be up at this hour. I walked lazily down to the fridge to get a snack or something. I was dead tired. Yet, I couldn't sleep. So strange.
Apparently, Raven heard me walking. She snuck up behind me. "Something the matter?" She asked, in a whisper so only I could hear. I spoke, "Why are you up this hour?" "I asked you a question first," she replied. She is a stubborn girl.
"I couldn't sleep," I told her truthfully. "Want to talk about it?" Raven asked. "I don't know if it's explainable. So many things going through my head. I don't know where to start." I confessed. "We can start simple." She said.
"Like where?" I asked. "What do you think of the titans after you returned?" She pointed out. "I. . .Wait. . .How come you know where to start and I don't?" I asked stupidly. "If you answer my questions, maybe it won't be so hard on you." She said. I congested, "I suppose that's possible. Let's see. . .I think they hate me."
"Yeah?" Raven asked, hinting him to go on. "I don't think they trust me. I can't blame them." I finished. "And what do you think about me?" She asked, again with the clarity of knowing just how I felt. "I. . .Oh come on I told you. It was a once upon a time. Doesn't even occur to me anymore." I told her.
"Really?" She asked, pulling me close. I was flushed. What was I going to do? Was it what I wanted? "Don't you want a peck?" Raven asked. This was it, just like in my dreams. She was going to kiss me. Did she really want me? Or was it her plan. Our lips met.
Chills went down my spine. "Do you love me?" She asked after it was over. "You. . .I mean. . .Yes! I love you!" I stammered. I don't know what I had done, but in a moment of triumph, I leapt.
She smiled "What about you?" I asked. "Me? You know I can't love. But, I wanted you to know that I trust you. I didn't want you. . .to be left out on us." She said. Somehow, it all made since. How, I don't know.
I went back to my room, after she went back to hers, and thought through what she said. "I can't love, but I wanted you to know I trust you." She's someone I can count on.
The next day, I went straight back to the infirmary. I spent all day there. Robin brought me food when I was hungry, and he understood me to be on the team again.
You think that everything you do, no matter what, is un-repairable. It is. Memories are remarkable, though, and you can't let things you've done in the past affect what you do for your future. It is something. . .I learned.
No matter what happens for my future, whether it be capturing Slade, or making Raven realize we need to be together, I didn't give up! I think no one should.
So when Starfire woke up days later, when she finally woke up, I apologized and hoped for the best of our friendship, though damaged, we'll manage. "Glorious!" Was all she could say before she hugged me. I couldn't help but be a little flustered about it.
(Beast Boy's POV ends)
Robin was down in the living room, eating lunch. Raven was making herself some herbal tea. Cyborg was playing games. The screen that held the games blanked out and revealed a certain someone they all hated. None of them revered him. He was cruel, and hadn't had a heart.
"Slade. . ." Robin said.
"Glad you remember Robin. . ." Slade said, "and Raven, how is it going. . .?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So how was it? Any better than the ones before? Wait a minute I think they are all as good. What a cliff hanger. And you thought it was over? pfft, Slade's evil!
Please don't forget to review! (I decided that no one liked reviewing when I put it on the top, I'd put it on the bottom instead!) Review!
